Shoppers have been urged to stop using the safety bar on the product.
They should put it away, reducing the risk of children becoming injured.

Two cases of head injuries have been reported after using the Cosco stepper, manufactured in China.
The company has received 34 reports of the safety bar breaking or detaching.
The product was sold at major supermarkets, stores, and online from February 2021 to July 2025 between $56 and $70.
It was sold in a range of colors, including white, green, navy and blue.
Meanwhile, The U.S. Sun has reported how a children’s kitchen toy was recalled over a safety hazard.
Officials warned how plastic hooks can get caught on children’s clothes.
They explained this poses a strangulation hazard to children who are crawling on the kitchen.
In 2023, a child, 23 months, died from strangulation after getting his shirt caught on one of the hooks.
Fragrance diffusers , cookies, and a type of butter have also been recently recalled.
The diffuser was recalled because of the risk that the magnets on the inside of the case could detach.
